I still posess the ticket from Rainbow 1976 here in Germany (supporting band a at that time unknown band called AC/DC) It cost me 8 Euros in todays money. I saw Rainbow very often. I discover now Stratovarius. The play with all the power and strength which ist neede to play Rainbow correctly. 5 Stars. Very good
Again I must comment as a fan of both bands, but I must say I like the vocals more in this one, considering this is live. And OH, YES, Timo can sing live!
Don't get me wrong, I listen Stratovarius a lot (but only first three albums where Tolkki is singing) but Kotipelto sounds so funny when singing this song. (I really love Rainbow's version) I just laughed whole time during listening this. :-D
I think some are comparing this too much with the studio version.
Stratovarius plays a half key lower (Ab)than Rainbow in studio. For a singer it's a BIG difference to try to make it sound reasonably decent in original key (A).
Good attempt, but listen to the studio version, and try yourselves to sing it. It gives you a good understanding how difficult this song is really to sing the whole song so that it sounds good.
Forgot to say that ofcourse in live circumstances the singer has a whole bunch of other extreme performances to make (other difficult songs to sing too), so please show some respect and understanding for the artists.
More you sing and better you want to become, more humble you relate to all of it. ;)
i think its a cool version of it, no need to flame , i gues you are just a stupid rainbow fanboy. What kind of comments do you expect on this clip anyway?

Kotipelto sings it better than Joe Lynn Turner who recorded this song originally with Rainbow in 1980. Impressionante.

JLT had a unique voice, so hats off to that!
